Butt Rameses III is a champion in his own rierht. a battle-scarred veteran who is just a little bit bored with this 'spirit thing down here because there's not enough bloodshed. You ought to see HIM when ill-winds blow him no ramn good. A special report was brought into the office of this publication yesterday by a breathless mes senger from Hogan's farm. A look of downright terror was spread over his (her) face. Her (his) hand shook visibly as she (he) handed the message to a blank Daily Tar Heel report er. Letter from Hogan It was from Glenn Hogari, Rameses' fond owner. It was a note of fire and rammy fero city telling of a tremendous com bat in 'which Rameses III gained a bloody victory: . ; Here is the gory story (almost ad verbatim) : "It was Thursday evening at setting sun when that ..... ram met a rival in mortal combat and laid him low with a flying tackle. Rameses Jr. (ed. note: it should be Rameses IV) wit nessed his illustrious old man roll his enemy in the dirt . . . His combat was the termination of a year old grudge. He got one oi nis enemy s norns last Thanksgiving." (Ed. note: it wouldn't blow very well so he gave it back magnanimously on the Fourth of July) . As a post script to the note was Rameses' own word, the modest word of a real champion : "I rammed my way to a swell flying tackle. We rolled in the dirt and I won $2.37. Hope the Carolina team does likewise. All my love. Baaaaa!"

Chapel Hill Vocation Period Bottle of "Old Nick," Found in Razing Building, Described As "Mighty Mellow." The oldest building in Chapel Hill, probably older than the University itself, was razed dur ing the summer. The history of the, two-story frame building which stood next to the Stand ard filling: station on Franklin street is a record of progress in Chapel Hill for nearly a century and a half. Originally, ?the structure which had neither name L nor number . had a wide frame ve randa across the. front, ap proached from a broad flight of wooden steps. At the bottom of the steps were hitched the carts, carriages and saddle horses of the people who came into the store to buy and to exchange tidbits of village gossip. Corn Whiskey Relic A number of relics of the "good old days" were found when the building was torn down. One was a bottle of "Old Nick Corn Whiskey, made in Williamston, North Carolina in 1879, .for family use only." A gold medal seal on the bottle testified that it was eight years old when released. The negro carpenter who drank it said that it was "mighty mellow." ' Workmen also discovered sev eral boxes of white, fingerless lady's gloves, elbow-length, 'and some of the old-fashioned high white collars, long straight stiff cuffs, and; white dress bow ties which were worn by gentlemen of quality in those days. There were about fifty law books, too, used by students who lived in the building from time to time. Nobody knows exactly when or why it was built. The oldest native of Chapel Hill, Mr. Mar ion Cheek, says that it was an old building when he was a boy, 75 years ago. R. A. Eubanks, now postmaster of Chapel Hill, said, "I don't know when it was built. I kept a store there for 44 years, and it must have been more than 100 years old when I moved in there." When Mr. Eubanks opened his siore it was tne only place in Chapel Hill which sold cigars. ine iavome Drana tnen was Linco's, a brand which has long since passed off the market. The top shelf running all the way around the main room of the store was stacked the five feet to the ceiling with these cigar boxes. Our informant added that Mr. Eubanks smoked most of these himself. Pegs Used for Nails The massive' beams which formed the skeleton of the build ing were ten inches square, and were fastened, together with wooden pegs. The only nails used in the building in the floor and the ceiling of solid ten-inch pine boards were made by hand. It was built on a sturdy foundation of hand-picked square rocks which can still be seen. TTT1 1 1 1 l wnen jrankiin street was widened, the step's were sunk back into the porch, dividing the veranda in half. When the pavement was laid, the ; porch was torn down, and the steps were sunk back into tne mam building. In recent years the old building looked something like . the adjoining structure which now serves as the loca express office. It has been used for almost Continued on last page) LAW ENROLLMENT HITS NEW RECORD Over 50 Per Cent Have Degrees; Nine Students of 130 from Out of State. The ninety-first year of the law school of the University opened this fall at the close of the registration period, with an aggregate total of 130 students, the largest enrollment so far as available records show in the history of the school. There are fifty students in the first-year class ; forty-six in the second year class; and thirty four in the third-year class. Many Have Degrees Of the 130, 73 or 56 per cent have received college degrees. Of the senior class of 34, 29, or 85 per cent of the class have col- ege degrees. This is the second largest senior class in the his tory of the school, the previous high mark having been reached by the class of 1929 with thirty- nine seniors. All of the 130 students in the law school are residents of North Carolina except nine, of whom two are from Connecti cut; one from the District of Co lumbia ; one from Louisiana ; one from New Jersey: one from South Carolina ; two from Mass achusetts; and one from Wis consin. i Breckenridge on Leave Just before the opening of school, Professor M. S. Brecken ridge was given a leave of ab sence for the fall semester in order to. enable him to become counsel for a sub-committee of the committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce of the House of Representatives in Washing ton which is investigating vari ous aspects of the petroleum in dustry. A part of Mr. Breckenridge's teaching duties have been taken over by Mr. Edwin M. Perkins of Brevard, a graduate of the law school in 1933, who has since been serving as an assist ant in the Institute for Research in Social Science.

Plans "Of Suicide Or Jailbreak By Lindy Suspect Are Broken RUSHING SUSPENDED Rushing will be suspended today until 7:00 o'clock to night, according to a ruling passed yesterday by the Inter fraternity council in special meeting. This rule prohibits any rushing during the Wake Forest-Carolina game. Bob Fetzer Explains Passbook Regulations Passbooks to Be Used Only by Persons to Whom Issued. By "Coach Bob" Fetzer We are making a special ap peal to students to comply with the regulations concerning the use, of student passbooks to ath letic contests. It will be necessary to take up all passbooks which are present ed by any. person other than the! student to whom they were issued. We are compelled to enforce this rule rigidly if we are to have the support necessary to continue our present broad pro gram of intramural and inter collegiate athletics. , Source of Revenue Our revenue comes from two sources : student tees and out side ticket sales. The student fee has been held to a minimum price, approximately 25 per cent of the total cost of ; single ad missions for outsiders to the same events. A student who permits an out sider to use his passbook de prives the Athletic association of 3-4 of the prico of the admission. At the same time he cheats him self and his fellow students by reducing the amount of money which can be put into, the Uni versity's athletic program. . University Policies The University has maintain- ed its policy of large squads, generous provision tor equip ment, and attractive heavy home schedules even during the de pression. We hope that you will help us with your co-opera tion in continuing these policies. Students will continue to oc cupy the center section on the south side entering at gate 6. May we ask, as a courtesy to our visitors, that you come to the game early. We are proud of our student section and should like to have it filled before the kickoff. This would also avoid the congestion caused by a lfsfc minute rush. LECTURE SERIES BEGINS TUESDAY H. K. Russell to Be First Bull's Head Speaker. The new series of lectures to be given at the Bull's Head book shop in the "Y" will open Tues day at 4 :30 o'clock, with Dr. H. K. Russell of the English depart ment making the opening ad dress. The topic of Dr. Russell's dis cussion has not yet been an nounced, but it is understood that he plans to use as part of his material, Paul Erigle's new book entitled "American Song.' Elizabeth Johnson, director of the Bull's Head, announces that a complete program for regular Tuesday afternoon lectures dur ing the school year is being out lined. Accused May Plead Insanity As Defense Disappearance of One of Haupt mann's Meal Spoons Causes Suspicion; Found in Cell. LOOK FOR ACCOMPLICES New York, Sept. 28. (UP) Discovery of a broken and sharpened soup spoon in the cell of Bruno Richard Haupt-' mann, alleged kidnaper of the Lindbergh baby, today indicated that the accused was either plan ning to commit suicide or at tempt a jailbreak. The spoon disappeared after one of Hauptmann's meals. Jail ers searched his cell today and found the spoon broken in four pieces and concealed in a drain pipe. Hereafter, only paper Utensils will be served Haupt mann, and the guard at his cell door will be strengthened. Witnesses Questioned Meanwhile, a steady stream of witnesses flowed into District Attorney Samuel J. Foley's office for questioning on various phases of the case. Department of justice agents, New York detectives, and New Jersey officials are co-ordinating their efforts in a swift drive to bring in every shred of possible evidence. Reports persisted that the in vestigation is concentrating on searching for possible" accom plices of Hauptmann. James W. Fawcett, Haupt- mann's attorney, said that a psychiatrist will examine his client tomorrows thus indicating an insanity defense. In New York state, Haupt: mann is being tried only on ex tortion charges. In New Jersey, however, he faces the more seri ous charges of kidnaping and murder.
